LED Signs Aren't Like Other Signs

A programmable digital LED sign is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each sign is unique, and the type of sign you need will depend on several factors including:

• your location,
• your City ordinances,
• the visibility the sign will have,
• the viewing distance,
• the size of your business,
• your target audience and
• your budget.

When it comes to purchasing a programmable digital LED sign, it's essential to understand that this type of product is not the same as buying a microwave or an appliance. Unlike a simple appliance, a digital LED sign is a significant business investment that requires careful consideration.

It's crucial to work with a reputable and experienced digital LED sign company that can help you customize your sign to your specific needs.

Additionally, digital LED signs require professional installation and maintenance. Installing and maintaining a digital LED sign is not a DIY job. A professional installer will need to ensure that the sign is securely mounted and wired correctly and work with an Electrician to ensure that the power to the sign is the correct voltage, amperage, and that it is constant power and not controlled by a timer or photocell. You need to have access to a knowledgeable, experienced digital LED sign company that can perform hands-on maintenance, service work and/or training if needed.

Don't trust an over-the-phone solution!

Remember, purchasing a digital LED sign is a long-term investment. Unlike an appliance which may need to be replaced every few years a well-maintained digital LED sign will last for many, many years. Therefore, it's important to take the time to research and select the right sign for your business needs.

Picking The Right Outdoor LED Marquee Sign For Your Business

In the Outdoor LED Signage industry there are 3 different designs of LED Signs manufactured:

• Classic™ Pixel-cluster design,

• Balanced Array™, and

• SMD™ technology.

Which one is best?  It depends.

We not only manufacture all 3 designs, we explain to you the differences, help you decide which is best for your specific needs, and let you see for yourself in our Showroom.

Don't buy your sign until you know you're buying the right one!  Your LED sign should help your business grow, but not all LED signs (or LED sign manufacturers) are the same.

Products that Improve Your Signs

Unique in the entire sign industry, Sunburst Displays™ built an 85’ by 50’ (over 4,000 sq ft) indoor sign lighting laboratory for testing the longevity, visibility, and effectiveness of all the lighted signs we manufacture.

We have opened our laboratory to the public, for FREE, adding an LED Video Display Showroom because we realized how important one would be to consumers.

You must determine which display type and LED spacing is best, so that your sign will be successful, considering how you will use it.  Therefore, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12mm, 16mm and 19mm 4+billion-color exposed-LED Balanced Array™, exposed-LED Classic™ pixel-cluster signs, and SMD enclosed-LED Signs are always available for you to compare to monotone message centers and monochrome 4-thousand-shade display signs.

We also display a see-thru curtain-wall display sign, and a curved LED display sign.

Also on display is an economical fixed-message Full-color LED Message Center, and a fully self-contained, self-powered portable LED Sign trailer, the LED Sled™.

Don't buy a sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and compare real signs.

No one else, sign company or not, can offer you this unique opportunity.  Be sure to take advantage. 

Aluminum Sign Cabinets

Many LED sign companies are just finally realizing the benefit to fabricating an all-aluminum sign cabinet. SunburstLEDSigns has been doing it for years!

Aluminum dissipates heat better than steel. By fabricating our signs out of all aluminum we make the entire sign one big heat sink! Since heat is the enemy of electronic components, this dramatically improves the life of a SunburstLEDSigns digital display, far beyond our competitors.

That doesn't mean we don't ventilate the signs properly, we do. Our signs have IN and OUT flow venting to constantly move hot air outside of the sign. Many LED sign companies believe, incorrectly, that just making an aluminum box will keep the heat out. Try standing in an aluminum box in Texas in June and tell me it's not hot...

One other nice aspect of aluminum signs is that they do not rust like the steel framed signs. Many Chinese companies are now using aluminum because they have to ship in the parts overseas, and they're finding that those signs are rusting before they even arrive on the US coast! Thankfully, we aren't having to ship the signs form China, we build them right here in Texas!

Come See Our Showroom Specials

As an additional enticement to coax you into our showroom, and also smooth our manufacturing flow, we periodically have limited Specials only available "in-store;" even unannounced to our sales team.

They are based on opportunities in our production scheduling.  If we tell our salespeople in advance they collectively sell too many, causing other problems!

Specials are always for a specific type of custom-built sign with a large variety of available options, but a very limited quantity, and first-come-first-served.

Our Dallas sign Factory addresses are 4540, 4550, and 4560 Mint Way, Dallas, Texas 75236.

Our Building #5 Installation & Service Annex address is 4424 Mint Way, Dallas, Texas 75236.

You will find that many of our competitors (some with very slick looking websites) are presenting themselves as full-service companies but in reality they are only brokers, marking up somebody else's product then reselling it to you; they are a sign store.  Many even have no way to actually install a sign themselves.  And once you buy it from them they offer no service.

We install and service what we manufacture and sell.  Just our Installation and Service Annex is larger than most other sign companies.

Factory-Direct from a State-Licensed Company

Why not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker or a Sign Store?)  There are literally hundreds of them.

Would you give a car dealer $10,000 and tell him to buy you the best car he can for the money, sight unseen (or from a drawing?)  Don't you think you would get the car that made him the most?

Do you think you could meet your needs asking for the cheapest car he can buy?

Why would a sign dealer (sign broker or sign store) be any different?  Remember, they are merely buying a sign from a manufacturer, maybe foreign, to resell to you, usually to resemble a drawing, making the most money they can.

You need to know ALL of the details on how your sign will be manufactured, and how it will be installed.  It needs to meet YOUR needs, not the seller's profit goals.  What is he telling the manufacturer you don't need so he can make more money?

Believing "...a sign is a sign" gets you a Yugo instead of a Cadillac.  Remember the Yugo?  They didn't last very long, either.

Also, most sign dealers, sign brokers and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign.  Ask to see their license.

Ask to see a manufacturer's license also.  A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either, they also have to hire other companies to install the signs they make.

Now, who provides the warranty?  The manufacturer, the installer, the salesman, anyone?  If the sign was installed illegally do you think they'll honor their warranty?  Did they REALLY obtain your City sign permit?  Is the sign even safe?

As a large, UL listed manufacturer, our name is on all our signs.  Just like you, we can't afford to have a bad sign destroy our reputation.  We have to care, particularly with our LIFETIME* warranty.

If you wonder if a sign-seller can legally install and service electrical signs through-out Texas go to THIS LINK, enter "Electricians" in the "Inquire by License Type" box and the name of the sign business or person in the "Inquire by Name" box.  If they are not licensed they can not.

So someone can sell you signs and not be licensed to install or service them.  You may have to have this done.  But unless the electrical signs you buy are "listed" (U.L. usually) they won't be allowed to be installed in Texas, a State of Texas Consumer Protection Safety Law designed to insure that signs are safe to use, with a few local city ordinance exceptions.  It is not illegal to sell them to you, however.  Buy carefully.

The State of Texas does NOT allow the installation on non-Listed electrical signs, and a Texas Sign Contractors License (TSCL) is not evidence of an OSHA approved Listing for electrical signs.  Additional approvals are required.

"I had a ****-a-**** (sign company) right across the street … that store's out of business now … I found out they hired some other company to build and install our sign and they did a really #@%&&$ job, the thing has never lit right.  ****-a-**** Corporate won't do anything, they say the closed store was an independent franchise, and the sign builder/installer won't fix it, they say we weren't their customer.  I need you to come out, tell me what it will cost to get the thing working properly and get it fixed." - Chris Jennings, Jimmy Johns

Why are “Listed" Signs Critical to You?

Virtually ALL cities, as well as the State of Texas, adopt the National Electric Code as law.

The National Electric Code (NEC) requires that for electrical, structural, and installation safety all electrical signs be "Listed" (tested and labelled with an appropriate Listing Mark.)

Certification (testing and labelling) organizations acceptable in the USA to test to the multitude of Standards signs are required to meet are determined by OSHA.

For you the Listing Mark is insurance.  It means that the sign has been tested to insure that it is structurally and electrically safe, and will be installed properly.  You benefit from the knowledge that it is not solely us telling you that our signs are safe, this is what the testing laboratories and the US Government says also.

Will your sign be tested and approved for safe use in a Wet (Outdoor) location? Not if it’s not Listed!

Underwriters Laboratories (“UL” Listing Mark) and Intertek (“ETL” Listing Mark – originally Edison Testing Laboratory founded by Thomas Edison) are the premier certification organizations and 80% of all things electrical are tested by them.

If the sign you are purchasing does not have a ETL or UL Listing Mark label the sign is probably not legal to install, anywhere in Texas. If your city rejects your sign after it is installed, what do you do?

Do you think a bandit sign company, manufacturing and installing illegal signs, will stand behind you? Worse, because the sign is illegal they probably tried to put it up without a City Sign Permit. Now the city can shut-down your business.

Buy carefully.

Intertek is over twice the size of UL, and has a greater global presence.  UL is the largest in the USA.  We have both companies test and apply Listing Marks to various signs.

Whether it's channel letters, a wall cabinet sign, a monument sign, pole or pylon signs, electronic message centers, video displays, neon or other electric signs Intertek and Underwriter’s Laboratory pose the toughest design, structural, electrical, and installation standards on the products they approve.

We are the 9th oldest UL Listed Manufacturer in North Texas.  (File #UXYT.E149959)

To see if a manufacturer is a UL Listed electronic sign manufacturer go to THIS LINK and enter "UYFS" in the "UL Category Code" box, replacing "%ccn%".

To see if a manufacturer is an ETL Listed sign manufacturer go to  THIS LINK and enter "UL-48" in the search box.

We are the third oldest ETL Listed sign company in Texas. ( File #4007685)   (One of the two older companies makes lighted scoreboards, the other makes lighted office door signs.)

There are many sign companies that pretend to be Listed, but are not!

Incidentally, ISO (International Organization of Standardization) Standards, such as ISO 9001, are NOT electrical Listings (similar to a UL or ETL Listing) that allow a sign to be installed in Texas.  That said, components in our electronic signs also meet ISO 9001 and 2008 standards.

Underwriter’s Laboratory and Intertek do NOT judge the appearance, appeal, or the longevity of a product.  This is why our many years of experience serving international, national, regional and local customers, and our investment so that we can apply the knowledge we’ve gained, will give you a superior product which will impress your customers for years to come.
